Everyone wants the "next big thing," but be real: if your project doesn’t solve a problem, it’s just a meme. Here’s how to avoid becoming Web3 roadkill:
1. Start with Pain, Not Hype
Forget trends. Lasting projects obsess over real problems. Example: @UniswapFND eliminated centralized exchange gatekeeping (slow trades, custody risks). Ask: “Would users engage if the token hit $0?” If not, you’re selling hopium, not utility.
2. Sustainability Is Survival
Token burns and staking rewards mean nothing without value flow. Scalable models win: Aave survived bear markets by monetizing usage (interest fees), not just farming incentives. Warning: Ponzinomics may pump your chart today but will bury you tomorrow.
3. Your Market Isn’t “Crypto Twitter”
Even Dogecoin needed a cult-like community. Culture alone isn’t enough—solve a specific need. Niche down: target a group desperate for your solution (e.g., artists needing NFT royalties, devs craving modular chains). Fact: “Everyone” is nobody. Build for someone.
The Ultimate Test
The Web3 graveyard is full of “innovators” prioritizing whitepaper jargon over fundamentals. Survivors—Bitcoin (digital gold), @ethereum (global computer), @chainlink (trustless data)—solved critical problems, making adoption inevitable. Ask: Am I building a solution or just a token with extra steps?
